We have has a busy last couple of weekends. We had our Indians game first base terrace suite three weeks ago. It was very windy and chilly that night. We had a good time hanging out with our family and friends. I didn't get many pictures but here are a couple.

We ventured out to the Indy 500 last weekend. It was supposed to be a mild temperature but ended up being quite warm by the afternoon. The morning started out pretty frustrating because we were stuck in traffic on 30Th street for almost 2 1/2 hours (to go about 3 miles) and never even made it into the in-field parking or the lots at the track. We ended up parking at church and walking to meet our friends in the in-field. In the grand scheme of things, the parking ended up working out better though.
I would just like to say that being at the track completely sober is an eye opening experience and everything is much grosser and trashier than I remember. I still enjoyed hanging out with our friends and watching the crazies but I could do without ever seeing the track bathrooms again. Especially since I visited them often since I have to pee so frequently. Our group did provide entertainment for many of the track goers though. Beside a full bar setup, our friend Billy provided the duel shot luge made of ice which ended up being a profitable spectacle. If you are wondering what is a duel shot luge, see the pictures below and all your questions will be answered. I am proud to say that Scott and I did not participate but did find great amusement in it.

Bruce being a real sport!

This past Friday night we went on our annual Bonge's trip. If you are not familiar with this restaurant check out the website. It is in the middle of no where in Perkinsville, Indiana. It has great food that you order of a chalk board and the restaurant is definitely not a looker. The fun of it is tailgating in the parking lot while waiting for your table. We always go with the same group of people, get reservations, assign Designated Drivers (this year the pregnant women fulfilled this duty), and tailgate in the parking lot. We had a great time and can't wait for next year. We got to see Peyton Manning. He was dining in the middle of no where too. We let him eat in peace but he gave us all a wave on the way out. If you ever have a chance to go, I definitely would not turn down the opprotunity.
Our tailgating group at Bonge's Tavern.
Some of us had more fun than the others. I can't say much though, this was me last year, actually she made it through dinner and I didn't last year. But it is all in good fun!
